Back to topComprehensive Employment Education Programs (CEEP)
CEEP is for students with intellectual disabilities. It supports their transition from high school to post-secondary education, employment, and independent living. These programs provide a holistic approach to assist students in acquiring the skills, knowledge, and resources needed to successfully navigate the transition.
At VR, these programs stemmed from The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA). It created this new kind of college program specifically for students with intellectual disability – the Comprehensive Transition and Postsecondary (CTP) Program. The Act defined the requirements of CTP programs, defined "student with an intellectual disability" for the purposes of these programs, and opened up access to federal student aid for students with intellectual disability attending an approved CTP program, even if those students do not have a standard high school diploma or are not matriculating towards a degree.
We are in support of the following CEEP - we do not support all courses. Each student need to meet with their VR counselor and develop an Individual Plan for Employment to know if we will support enrollment and other financial obligations.
